A Soul's Worth

If one to see the ripened fruit go back long before the tree – to where the feet are planted: firmness of the soil~be certain that taste of nourishment not only man but God! The child as that shoot from a seed, the lineage of a creed – let God know his grace no waste of shower, and man his spiritual substance, not simply ambient scent and colorful flower.

Oh, this is so, so true. The soil tells all (plus toil). ~ Gershon, (a former farmer)

Thank you, my friend. Farmers are wholesome as apple pie -- they are precious to our nation.

Wonderful write about rights to Creation & the oneness in The Creator. Romans 1 tells how easy it is to be distracted by Godgiven by eauty, & worship Nature not the God who created nature itself. Shalom shalom Father DeMino

28: "Furthermore, just as they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, so God gave them over to a depraved mind, so that they do what ought not to be done. 29 They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice. They are gossips, 30 slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant and boastful; they invent ways of doing evil; they disobey their parents; 31 they have no understanding, no fidelity, no love, no mercy. 32 Although they know God’s righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice them."

Only from a healthy seed, a good sapling will sprout and grow into a tree and yield fruits. Only from a worthy soul, man can grow into fullness.... ! The depth of your poem makes analysis difficult. This is what I can gather in my 'thick brain'
